It's not necessary, I know plenty of people who don't use it.

Not just for weight lifters either, footballers use it as well as other athletes.

2. Back and biceps one day, Chest and tri's next? Or mix and match to cause muscle confusion?
Is fine keeping back/bis on the same day. If you're trying to shock your muscles so you don't plateau change rep numbers, exercises etc.

btw what is your goal?

3. I run quite a bit but neglect my legs when working out a bit. I have heard running tends to mostly work quads causing imbalance with weaker hamstrings. When doing legs should I focus on Hamstrings, other muscles? Basically, do I work legs differently since I run?
No. Running will make next to no difference to your legs, should be doing cardio anyway.
